THE NEW LABOR PARTY.
That New Factor in New York State and
Possibly in National Politics.

That New Factor in New York State and
Possibly in National Politics.
NEW YORK, June THE World says
while the speeches Of DR.. McGlynn and
Henry George have attracted good deal
of attention from the general public
since the surprising exhibition Of strength
shown by this political party al the last
election in this city, the fact that the
party of which these two men are the
leading spokesmen, is organized thor
oughly in every assembly, and perhaps
in every election district, and that meet
ings to the number of some forty or more
ere held every month, will surprise most
people, and the business meetings do not
differ widely from those Of any other Or
ganization. New members are admitted,
reports concerning organization and other
work are made, and the debate
is usually lively and vigorous. In fact
there appears to be perfect mania for
debate and inquiry in many districts.
Many members are desperately alarmed
less new machine may be constructed
and new bosses be evolved, so that it is
almost impossible to carry the most
trifing measure without an elaborate eX-
PLANTATION and a practical debate. The
most remarkable feature of the new move
ment, however, is what may be called its
social side. II member of any district
association in the Democratic or Repub-
licsn party were to 60 TO regular meet
ing of his organization accompanied
by his wife and children his
appearance would be the occasion
OF interest and emazement, yeti this
is precisely what the members of the
new party do. They seem to regard the
custom as natural and proper, as though
it were sanctioned by tradition and long
usage. In some districts the women
even participate in the business of the
meetings and take part in the debate.
This does not, however, appear to be the
general custom, but every district asso-
citation holds what il calls It's ''entertain-
ment" as frequently IS it holds its bust
ness meetings. The members of the new
party take their wives, sisters and sweet
hearts. and even their children,

TEXAS is too large for a lie to spread al over
1t at once, The unfayorable crop reports Of
one section are always double discounted by
the abundant promise OF scores Of other reports.
The outlook averages more than well and corn
and cotton are booked for big yield.-LSan
Antonio Light
The GAZETTE has often sought to I'm
press the immense size of Texas on the
public mind. As well might one attempt
to portray the progress, crime or crop
prospects of all New England, New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania combined intelli-
gently and Justly, as to try TO tell of Tex
as affairs. a "drouth in Texas" may
mean the best crops ever known in s sec.
ton equal in area to i've states like Hi
nois. No man can Judge this state cor
rectly who neglects to consider its i'm
mense size.

NEGRO COUNCIL AGAIN.
Hs Forces Himself Into a White Car

MONTGOMERY, ALA, June "a spec
ial to the Advertiser from Huntsville re-
ports sensation there in which W. Il.
Council, colored, principal of the State
Normal Institute at that place, was the
chief actor. Council is the man who was
elected from white car on the Western
and Atlanta Road and applied to the inter
state commission for redress. To-day at
Huntsville he took some fifteen of his
pupils into the car of the whites on the
Memphis and Charleston Road. One
white man and twelve white ladies were
in the car. The colored car was entirely
empty and all the whites went into that,
leaving the negroes in complete posses
sion of the white car. The railroad Off
Gals did not interfere,

What the Fingers Testify.

White hands with rosy palms, so d
loved OF our grandmothers, have 20
out of fashion.
The American hand is smaller than
English hand, but the nails are 10.
handsome.
1t is said that people with imaginsa
are apt to have long, taper fingers s.
beautiful tinger-nailS
The gOOd-natured critics are sad

their handwriting is somewhat anguish
The American nail suffers from the i-
ness of our climate, as q foreign pict-
painted on panel suffers from the sl1
cause.
Diplomacy has long, supple hand g,
beautifully kept tinger-nail. The hl-
writing of q diplomatistlooks like 8 SIS
crawling away.
An aptitude for criticism is sLO7
among people VINO bite their nails. TIE
people are cynical and severe, unc1s
table and bitter; they write sma
cTamped, ilIegible hand.
The Chinese have finger-nails so Ion
that they could write with them T.
tenacity of the Chinese nail, which to
not easily break, would indicate that 1t
have more lime IN their bones than r
have.
The English nails are almost unive-s
" rosy and shell-llke, and cut 70
rounded, slightly tapering point, kc9.s
ways sCrupulously clean. The skin
the base is pushed back to show the CEE
little white half moon.
The onyx OF the finger nails is csre!u.
cultivated and polished by the Creoi=s

black blood in their veins. No mst.t
how fair the complexion the valus-
sign of pure blood is wanting to the I'll
room if the onyx is Clouded.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June Am
earthquake swept over the greater por-
ton of Northern California and Western
Nevada between and O'Clock this
morning. Reports from different points
seem to place the center of the wave at
some place on the boundary line between
the two states. One house near Geno,
New, after the earthquake, was surround
ed by cracks N the ground from one inch
to foot in width. Another shock equally
as heavy would have destroyed every
brick house in the town. At Sacramento
it shook the houses making them
crumbie as if the windows were being
Jared by gusts of wind. The SHOCK was
also felt in the Yosemite Valley, At
Carson City, Nevada, pictures and plaster
fell from the walls. A large amount ofiplas-
ter fell from the Supreme court room in
the capitol building. The Hot Springs are
reported dried up. Virginia City, Frach,
Marysville, Chico and Nevada City are q
few of the many other points affected by
the shock

Abolish Your Own Poverty.

Henry George and DR.. McGlynn are I.
meeting with the success they eXpects
in their anti-poYerty society. They s:

of other people alone. If every man VI
set to work diligently to abolish power.
in his own case, it will soon diseppes
from the face of society. The reason vs.,
poverty does not disappear Is beCsu;
there are a great number of tramps, bun

C4PITAL COMING SOUTH.

Many are the causes given and ad-
vanced in explanation of the era of III
paralleled prosperity now being enjoyed
by the south and southwest. The new
discoveries OF rich mines, the successful
manner in which manufacturing enter
prises thrive in the south, and the greater
interest paid on capital invested, have
doubtless combined in directing the
course of capital southwards, but there
are other reasons more potent than these.
There are reasons more powerful than
even the desire for gain al work, slowly,
silently, INCREASINGLY. There are forces
which resist all power, ell obstruction,
and these are the natural laws which gov
ern men; teach them where and how it
is best for them to live, and in what pur-
suits to engage. The advance of civiliza-
ton, from its initial steps on the Eu-
pirates and Nile, shows clearly that men
congregste where they can most easily
obtain The necessaries of life. Tyre rose
and iourished for time, until
other localities were discovered, where
other cities. were built and people
could live better, when it returned to
deserted place. People hocked around
the shores of the Mediterranean and to
the cities of the east until that class
known as the pioneers of civilization dis
covered other lands where the necessaries

increasing in wealth. The advance in
real estate is of more permanent nature
than the advance in the price of any other
property. 1t cannot be moved from

of its actual value. The city IF Fort

THE TOWN AND THE RAIL WAY.
Once there was q Town that wanted a
Railroad, and the Town sent Special
Car with sixteen valiant Men to offer
more than Hundred Thousand Dollars
for lhe Railroad. The valiant Men were
al Colonies and Majahs and Generals,
and in the Special Car they carried
Spice and Myrrh and Old Otard and
High Old Wines, and the valiant Men,
who were all CoIonels and Majahs and
Generals, strove hard and hung around
and prayed nightly ct TeXarkana for
the Railroad which they said WAS
just the one thing needful. And one Of
the valiant Men, who was Colonel, fol-
lowed the MsgnGtes around even unto
Tyler, beseeching for the Railroad. But
the Railroad selected aline that was four
teen miles north of where the valiant Men
IN the Special Car wanted it to run, and
now the Town and the valiant Men call
the Railroad Beggar, and say it is Sour
Grapes, anyhow.

LET US HAVE ENGLISH.
Why Should Doctors Continue to WEite
Their Prescriptions in Latin?
New York FDOch


The doctor has as little resson to write
Latin as the cook has to write French,
but in the DOCTORS case an argument,
though a bad one, may be made. He says,
for instance, that whereas foreign
physician can prescribe in Latin exactly
what he intends, ne might bungle the
matter if he used English, and poison the
patient. The cook prescribes in French,
but he is not expected to kill.
The real reason at the bottom of the
Latin prescription involves & two-fold
imposition. First, the layman stands in
ave of Latin prescription and never
dsres use one over again lest death may
Turk in the neglect OF minute directions.
If he knew exactly what the prescription
called ne might use his own discretion as
to taking II again. But the physician
ieslousIy guards his little secret. Sec
ondly, the druggist can charge with i'm
punity when no one knows what ne is
charging for. When man pays half 8
dollar for this prescription:
